47M. Have been having nightmares about the last year of highschool for about 20 years. TIL other people do too. I think its due to the anxiety felt at that time without the adult ability to recognise that anxiety.
This was 1992 in New Zealand. You did 5 subjects (some did 6). At the end of the year you did a 3 hour exam and the percentages were scaled at the national level and added up. 300 was an 'A', 250 was a 'B' and 150 was a 'C'. Anything less and you didnt pass high school although everyone can still graduate and leave, some just did another year.
So, I'm walking around school. I dont know what class I should be in, I've completely missed subjects all year. I dont know when the exams are and I dont have text books.
In reality I passed all 5, total 351 and over %80 for calculus needed for Math 104.
Fast forward 4 years to honours math at uni and all my worst fears are true. Went to uni at midnight to see the results board honestly not knowing if I got honours (I'd still have a B.Sc). Passed, B.A.Hons 2nd class.
